Wow. That didn’t take long at all. I love you, Dulfy!
Imulac
A bunch of these are listed needlessly far apart. Just check around whenever you’re at one chair, you’ll probably find several others in the near vicinity.
Jalen Dmello
Armchair commander haha, Oh yeah i can definitely see the the appeal why would many ppl would go for it :3
PureWambo
For those without a Griffon stuck at #3, you can use a Springer to jump onto the roof of the building to get to the same destination.
Mewcifer
I really feel the springer solution should be the one listed in the guide, since more people are gonna have springers.
Don36669
But everyone’s addicted to their griffons. I see people just walking around with it, flying up for a few steps before landing again and walking on. A Springer would be the logical choice for reaching this chair, but logic goes out the window when people are starstruck with their shinies.
RabbitUp
You can get to the chair without any mounts, but it seems you need gliding. There’s a tricky jump, and it might be possible with some profession jump skills or bundle items.
Matthew Williamson
For #3, just go to the center of the top level of the main city and enter the instance for the Arcane Council. It won’t let you sit in the chairs due to “an invisible barrier”, but it gives you the credit.
bigbud
Im so glad that we dont need serpents ire for this achiev.
Haleigh Knowlton
Actually there was an Iron Siegesofa in the home instance as well against the back wall of Hero’s Forum. The throne was the only one I didn’t find in the Hero’s Forum.
Максим Черный
#7,#8,#9,#11 are all where #7 is in the guide
Dan Vonerets
so I can’t get this achievement because #42 i s bugged?
Vegeta
Yep.. supposed to be a fix coming later this week (idk what day)
Fadhli
Funny how some guild hall chairs count towards the achievement.
Ayakaru
probably to increase the value of the guild(s and their halls)
Mari5463
Just a note all of the charr seats can be found in the home instance in the , just need to keep your eye out as most are around the Hero’s Forum POI. Thanks for the guide Dulfy!
Gay and arting
was it confirmed that the last chair is bugged? cause if it wasnt, i have the speculation its actually a chair in lions arch\ “This is the site of the First Sittable Chair, from which all others derive—the King of Chairs. It’s a secret which one it is.” – The Patch Notes\ Maybe theres one special, original sittable chair somewhere in lions arch that just noone has found yet?
\///
it was\ https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/87m4vb/anyone_found_the_rulers_throne_chair_yet/dwdv6ig/?st=jfbqryyy&sh=310d91c4
Don36669
I interpret that as a funny reference to the first chair ever created for GW2. I can’t confirm it, but I find it a likely interpretation.
narg
for #3 you dont need grifon, just use your rabbit and jump up over the roof
KJ
This achievement should grant you a simple wooden chair tonic, so you can’t take a seat anywhere! anytime!
(usable in conquest mode too, of course!)
Sefer
Not able to sit on “Queen Jennah’s Throne”. You cannot interact with it, /sit doesn’t work!
Sefer
Oh and I am still in a love-hate-relationship with your guides. Do it in order pls … 🙂
Thanathos
It’s in order. In order of the chairs like they’re displayed in the achievement.
Sefer
Nope, not able to interact with any racial leaders throne …
Rick C
It would be nice to see this re-ordered so you don’t have to keep backtracking over the same zone (both the Black Citadel and Divinity’s Reach.)
Kitties
you could just ctrl+f the areas
Rick C
True, and that’s what I did. I’m just saying it’d be nice if they rearranged the article a bit so we don’t have to.
Skippy the Chimp
It’s in the order of the achievement. I didn’t need to be told to sit in other chairs next to the ones I was already doing.
Rick C
If you go to Knut’s instance, you can’t sit on his throne, because he’s already sitting on it. If you go to Arcane Council, the chairs don’t have sittability. This strongly suggests that it only refers to Jennah’s throne, or it refers to some other chair entirely.
Don36669
Or you could just try it. You still get credit for a chair when another player is already sitting in it. And lo and behold, you get credit for trying to sit in Knut’s chair as well. That’s how I got my #42. You just get a little dialogue about Knut pointing out to you there’s already someone sitting in the chair and you deciding not to press the matter further. Ruler’s Throne seems to work for all the rulers in cities, no matter if the chair is occupied or not.
Rick C
When did you try? Last night, when I wrote that comment, I couldn’t sit in his chair (in the instance. I don’t know if it’s possible to get into his room in the open world). Maybe they updated it since? That’d be cool.
Don36669
I did it about an hour or 2 before I posted here. Since #42 was unobtainable at first it would seem I did it after they fixed that. Just enter the instance and do what you would do with any other chair. Considering that you get participation for the achievement when another player is already sitting in a chair, it stands to reason that Knut already sitting in his doesn’t hinder getting the achivement either.
Cianann
Ruler’s Thrones are back in order! 😀
Korey Garabed
Chair achievement….. Really?
Aista
You can get Ruler’s Throne in Arcane Council (Rata Sum). Apparently it counts as #3 too, in my case when I interact with the Ruler’s Throne it’s also completed the #3 as well thus completed my achievement.
Alot
Armchair commander. That is the title which hangs above all gamers’ heads if you toggle them on -.-
Doghouse
Just to confirm that, as of this morning (29 March) and in SW at least, the final chair is no longer bugged. Just completed the collection in Queen Jenna’s Throne Room.
Sorenyth
Hey Dulfy!
4-11 can be found all in the Home Instance of the Charr!
Biscuit
If, for some reason, the Krytan Simple Chair doesn’t appear in Rook’s Row (it didn’t for me), there’s one beside the entrance of Vanguard Hospital. You’ll have to click on it to interact because there are three NPCs crowded really close to it.
Preacher Jorg
all the charr/legions, can be found in the charr home instance
Mr. Principal
Queen Jennah’s Throne should be the last one to sit on..
narg
it can be any racial kings throne
Mr. Principal
Sry for late reply.. Well I tried the other thrones.. but none of them worked except Queen J’s throne..
Natalie Hodgson
For my asura it only worked at rata sum. Maybe it depends on your characters race.
Adam Rees
Just a tip for those who don’t have the Gryphon, but want to get this achievement. For the Arcane Council chair, you can use the springer to launch yourself onto the roof of the Incubation Lab, then once you reach the top of the pyramid, slide down to the ledge that leads inside on the right hand side.
SueZ
That’s basically what I did as well. I used my glider from the bridge to a ledge around the corner, then used my springer to get the around the rest of the way and then up onto the side so I could drop in from above. It can be done. My trouble now is the chair itself. It wouldn’t give me credit. I logged out and rebooted, and now I can’t even get the option to Sit to come up.
Morphine Dementia
Or you can enter the Arcane Council instance (portal in the middle of upper level of Rata Sum) and interact with any of the several councillor chairs to get the credit. Much simpler.
SueZ
I’ve got all but the first one, Rata Stool Model 34. I’m sitting in it right now as I type this, but it’s not giving me credit for it. Is this bugged or was there supposed to be a particular order that I didn’t follow?
Kitty Rallo
I did the same thing… turns out I wasn’t in the home instance (Applied Development Lab) I was in Snaff Memorial Lab which also has a chair in the same place… Go to ADL and it’s on the upper floor.
Forward is Good
i sat in the queens throne first just to see, and it worked just fine. am I not understanding what the bug is?
Sparky
The queens throne worked for me and I got my chair
Arle Andersanka
Worst guide I’ve seen on Dulfy so far. Could easily have done it twice as efficient by doing all chairs in the same houses, instances and cities at once, instead of jumping back and forth to waste time and money. When you’ve done 17 and 18, go to 21 directly. Then do 20, 23 and 24 instead of going to LA twice. (I’m at 20 now)
